Cicero's purpose for writing On Duties, Book III was to illustrate what a good person would do if they were presented with a case in which expediency seemed to conflict with what was right. His ideas were influential to our country's early thinking and republican views, which can be seen in the US Constitution and Edgare Huntly.
